if you want to save the money. buy the replacement screen and do it yourself. get someone on here to do it and still have to pay more than if you had done it yourself.

if you decide to sell it. they will bargain you down. so not worth your while.

Hmmm seems this youtube account has been cancelled or closed.

Alright so I just watched another video and this seems very difficult.

Although saves me around $250 if I do it on my own.

I'm tempted to offer to buy it off you and try and repair it myself. My GS II died a month or so ago and its been hell using a $50 coles phone (takes a few seconds to regonise i pressed the 'end call' button... sitting there punching the unresponsive screen lol)
